 timber in the world, and for ship timber is preferred to live 

 oak. The wood, like that of the orange, is armed wttli long, 

 sharp, spines, and makes the strongest and most beautiful of 

 all hedges. The trees are some male and some female, there- 

 fore requiring more than one for the pioduclion of fruit; bul 

 these cannot be distinguished when young. Price 30 cts. each,
